My local restaurants serve milkshakes for $8 so, not as bad

That’s cost of living, a separate measurement, and is also a significant factor.

“Content filtering” is just corporate jargon for subjective censorship, dynamically and discriminately restricting access to knowledge. I abhor all censorship.

And said data will never be used for fake CSAM or a library for the powerful to handpick their next victims
- Comment on YSK You can buy a @linux.com domain for email flex 1 week ago:
Gmail is one of the most, if not the most, annoying recipients to avoid the spam category. My ISP lists their non-business IPs on Spamhaus PBL because they’ve monetised having a static IP and decided email servers aren’t for residents. But I’ve snoozed – they haven’t been the highest rated ISP for years and the new highest is perfect.

I do this with @duck.com except it’s free and supports generating alias addresses that can be disabled.
- Comment on Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization” 1 week ago:
Fatal police shootings in the UK are getting more common. In 2019 one man was “lawfully murdered” because an officer said the victim’s mobile phone looked like a handgun.
- Comment on Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization” 1 week ago:
In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone’s property or the predominant local religion. But recently it’s been exclusively used for the first one. In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV
Introduction The Terrorism Act 2006 uses the definition of terrorism contained in the Terrorism Act 2000. Section 34 amends that definition slightly, to include specific types of actions against international governmental organisations, such as the UN. The definition in the Terrorism Act 2000 (as amended) states: 1. (1) In this Act “terrorism” means the use or threat of action where: 2. the action falls within subsection (2) 3. the use or threat is designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public or a section of the public 4. the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause. (2) Action falls within this subsection if it: 1. involves serious violence against a person 2. involves serious damage to property 3. endangers a person’s life, other than that of the person committing the action 4. creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public 5. is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system Section 1(3) to (5) goes on to expand on the effect and extent of this definition.

Oh yeah. One of my probably unprovable theories is that the data they collected on me will always be floating around, I can just do my best to stop new data being harvested and, potentially, old data might be unsellable. Like when Daniel Radcliffe didn’t update his outfit for several months and paparazzi couldn’t sell the photos they took of him to magazines because they all looked outdated and therefore inaccurate

I used to be the same, but I eventually got sick of seeing these constant requests to spend my money on whoever’s product. If I see a problem that can be solved with a product, I know tlwhere to find stores, and I’ll go look for it. I don’t need 45,000 attempts at my money in case one is what I need. So I block all ads, pointedly avoid sponsored results, and use my own brain to decide what I want, when I want it.
Plus it improves my experience on all services when the UI isn’t wasted on banners and games don’t play a video every thirty seconds.

This. I thoroughly checked all of my account’s settings and toggled off about 15 switches related to history or data access. Not only that, Google can occasionally add new ones or toggle them back on, either through deceptive user prompts or underhanded updates.
- Comment on Looking for a Self-Hosted Music Server with Discovery & Recommendation Features 3 weeks ago:
I highly recommend a Navidrome/Slskd/beets[lyrics]/Symfonium setup!
I have a Navidrome server that serves music in a Library Folder (B), a Slskd server that serves a Soulseek web UI and downloads to a Download Folder (A), and beetbox beets program with the lyrics plugin installed via pipx that has config parameters set so that I can manually run it, it’ll detect and allow me to identify songs downloaded to Folder A, inject synced lyrics, and move them to an organised folder structure in Folder B.
- Navidrome doesn’t need organisation, I just do it to be neat.
- beets uses MusicBrainz and another I believe for song/album ID, and lrclib for synced lyrics
- I also have Lidarr set up to download from Soulseek with the Tubifarry plugin, get lyrics via lrclib and move to Folder B with the same structure as beets, but its metadata is heavily lacking and many images and artist song data is just nonexistent after about two months of “populating” (see below)
- You can use any Subsonic client but I find Symfonium to be incredible. Paying these devs is worth it!

What’s stopping me is it still feels like a generic resale or untrustworthy website… I see that it isn’t, though… And it’ll take a lot of money to buy DRM free copies of 600 games. My plan is to move the Steam game files and uninstall Steam, to test if Heroic can launch them. Whatever fails can be rebought, or counted as an acceptable loss

You can follow uploaders, but since the mass removal of 80% of their videos I doubt the website has ever gotten better. I had a few favourites noted down but none of them exist now.

I know Jellyfin/Emby is compatible with musuc, but I’m advising you now to not try and cram all your media in one software. I recommend Navidrome as a music hoster. The con is that I haven’t written a guide for it, as I run Proxmox it was almost too easy to need one.
As you’re just starting out I’d recommend picking any Linux distro, putting the ISO on a USB drive and booting the server machine from it to install. Well, you know how to install an OS. Next, install Navidrome (guide) via the Linux or Docker guides, modify the config file to point to your music folder and change any setting you like, for example the port, and run it via systemctl or docker.
After that, login via browser with the given admin creds, make a user account for you and anyone else, install slskd for downloading and beets for correctly organising into the music directory, set up a reverse proxy to point to the Navidrome UI or connect via IP from any Subsonic client.

Aside from being hella slow, I just don’t like that it can’t use the same directories as my network shares and requires uploading. This script might help but honestly I just stick to the basic shares because of this

From my experience using a mailserver with no PTR and an ISP who likes to put their addresses on a PBL, it’s very good. Gmail tends to be the most annoying and wants that PBL listing removed or you’ll go to spam for new recipients, but other than that 10/10. I’d be interested to hear what your findings are if you do test it!

Get yourself a Sonoff ZigBee bridge! Hue light support is practically native, and they act as extenders to reach your other ZigBee devices! Just don’t expect to be able to sync them with any movies or peripherals. I think there is a virtual Hue bridge on HACS and that might help with that, but idk

Smooth sailing for me too, shockingly. I’ve recently added my 26th service to Proxmox - LibreELEC (Kodi), with the very complex matter of monitor passthrough. It’s such a versatile program and it has replaced my Chromecast with more features and side bonuses than I could’ve imagined. Another huge step towards degoogling.

Nice… I use ytdl-sub for downloading music, highly recommend it. Running it as a user whose primary group matches Jellyfin is a must if you want stuff saved next to the video files… The dev is also very active.
I just installed Ollama and use gemma3 to now. I wanted to use dolphin-mixtral but holy crap it wants more RAM than my entire setup
